Soo Three veteran members of the LCBO Em Tuesday evening, - 'Thursday, June 4, 1959 the party, (seated) Roy Grills of New Liskeard; William Farmer of Haileybury and Joseph (Red) Mc- ployees Association were honored at a banquet held at Pape's Steak House last and were presented each with a wallet and a sum of money. Principals at members from across the north were: attended by association Andrew of Cobalt. They are backed up by their store assistants Jack Hughes, George Paquette and Elliott Slaght. News from the Evelyn Shoppe Summer fashions are running the gamut of color. To wear one of the many flower-garden prints would give a feeling of gaiety no matter what one's mood, and all the terylene, arnel, dacron and cottons will make for a care free summer. One beautiful costume by La Dear uses a colorful print in pol- ished cotton for the slim skirt and the same print in voile for the mMaching overblouse. And different, but lovely too, is a dress of blend- ed arnel and cotton in stripes of green and white, highlighted by ocean pearl buttons. This styled _ by Sacony. And of course, a new dress de- serves a good undergarment and if you have a figure problem you will find the answer to it in Gos- sard's "Answer" girdle. It has inner elastic bands that lift, 'sup- port and flatten both tummy and derriere. Made of light weight ny- lon power net, it has the French dip waistline for breathing com- fort. A good garment deserves good care, too, so we have exactly what is needed. "Lasticare", a cold water bra and girdle sham- poo, gives new life to panties and swim suits as well, removes stains and prevents yellowing. A shipment of sleeveless blouses is just in, perfect for wear under a suit or with a dressy skirt. Most attractive is one in '"'press-less" white cotton by Style-Rite. It flaunts lace-edged embroidery frill- ing in a vee on the front. Another plainer design by Lady Selkirk, also in white, uses tucking and pearl buttons for smart- detailing. -Another by Hornell, in Sea Is- land cotton, has a removable "'pie- cut'"' collar. Just unfasten the but- ton and you have a swish low necked blouse for a change. To make room fer summer mer- )~ eqgchandise, which is arriving daily, We are giving you a wonderful op- portunity to get quality merchan- dise at bargain prices, thirty per cent or more off suits and coats, with a good selection to choose from. One hand woven. coat, "Sco- tia Craft'? in a lovely lemon yel- low, would be perfect to top a summer frock and carry you through the fall as well. a THE A Tourist Outfitters DIARY. June 4 -- Won't be long now be- fore the bear nunters arrive. Its time to be getting the bait out. Went with two of the guides to- day to get two dead horses for bait. If anything smells worse than a dead horse, it's two dead horses. Doesn't seem to bother the guides too much. There was Mose, sitting on that old dead horse, tak- ing a swig of wine, puff of his pipe, and two more cuts with the saw! A bear has a voracious appetite when he first appears in the spring. He may weigh one hundred pounds less than he did in the fall. The cubs are usually born during hibernation and are very small, the smallest animal born in rela- tion to its eventual size. I have held a cub that scarcely covered the palm of my hand. One of the American hunters took one home one year in the pocket of his coat. Seems like out of a litter of cubs, one will be wild in spite of all your efforts to tame it, and one will be gentle. We had a cub around camp all one summer. Got so tame we didn't have to keep it tied up. It followed us down to the cabins, waited outside on the steps like a puppy, and -trotted behind us back to the lodge again. Beulah, for that was her name, had a fondness for green things; she ate all the houseplants in the lodge. She climbed the curtains like a kitten. Never saw anything faster on four feet. It we missed her, we were sure to find her curled up in bed with our little girl, head on the pillow, just like a baby. Beulah loved soft drinks. She could drink fifteen bottles of pop in a row, and ery for the sixteenth like she was dying of thirst. If she saw you coming out of the door with a bottle of coke, you had better give it to her or she would climb right up on your shoulder and take it. Cubs grow fast and by the end of the summer, Beulah was a large as a fair-sized dog. She met a sad end. I think she got hold of one bottle of pop too many and died of a tummy ache. I understand the Department of Lands and Forests frowns on keeping wildlife in cap- tivity now, and maybe it's just as well. A dentist from Pittsburgh took Beulah's brother home and never could get him tamed down. It bit him every time he tried to feed it; his wife was scared of it; even his kids wouldn't go near it. Final- ly, when he was getting ready to come fishing, he phoned me and said he was bringing that cub back with him. Said I was the only one he knew was interested in bears. A she-bear with cubs is suppos- ed to be a vicious animal to meet up with. Never found them to pro- tect their cubs like legend makes out. Mostly, when in danger, the she-bear runs into the bush and the cubs scamper up a tree. I have a theory that they aren't good mothers, but its not a theory I want to test in practice. Bears are like people, and every so often you might meet a crazy one. How- ever, a wounded bear is.very apt to turn on the hunter. A young hunter here wounded a bear last year and it turned and came at The Haileyburian | Page 3 Len Mallinson Friends and relatives from far and near gathered at Elk Lake on Monday afternoon to pay their last respects to Len Mallinson, popular businessman of the Mon- treal River community. Mr. Mal- linson had been to the. annual curl- ing club dance at Elk Lake on Friday evening and died a few minutes after his wife had called him for breakfast on Saturday. Mr. Mallinson was president of the Elk Lake Branch of the Cana- dian Legion, which group turned out in a body to honor their de- parted comrade. They formed a guard of honor at the United Church and at the graveside. Mr. Mallinson was _ secretary- treasurer of the Elk Lake Curling Club and one of the leaders in an effort to get a new rink under way to replace the one sheet building in use for years. Born in Elk Lake, he lived all his life in the community with the exception of the time spent in the Canadian armed forces during the last war. Burial was made in Elk Lake cemetery beside the body of his father. Legion members acted as pall-bearers. The average of weekly wages and salaries paid in Canadian in- dustry stood at, $73.09 in February, 1959, compared to $70.02 a year earlier and $58.88 five years ago. In 1958 there was one motor vehicle registered for every 3:5 Canadians, compared to one for every 5.3 persons in 1950. him. His second shot dropped it right at his feet. "You know," he said later, "I didn't think I would be scared, b-b-but I was!" Well, back to work. Got to get that bait out for this year's hunt- ers. shee 5 eet ee glist CAE | 1 THE TELEGRAM Hl :
